Week 38 -- Baptism


This week we got to be a part of a part member family baptism. We've been teaching the family and the elders have been teaching the dad. I had cute Ella at my side the whole time. She was really nervous to get baptized because all the people there so we said a little prayer together and I told her the story about my baptism and how all I remember is that I was nervous and then when I got baptized I just felt so warm and wanted to do it again. We accidentally couldn't figure out how to make the water warm and after she said even tho the water was cold she still felt warm like me until she got out and was freezing Hahah. She's so cute. I'm so so happy for this family. Something I'm never going to forget. 

Also this week we were trying to talk to this guy about God then this drunk soccer fan gets on and is singing the soccer chant for the team and dancing around falling on everyone lol. But he was literally screaming and singing. We were just in the corner tryna talk about God. Haha all good stuff

Also have this investigator named Pascal. He shows up to our appointment and brings us pizza from his work then we just ate pizza and talked about Christ. Then we asked him to be baptized. Guess what. He's getting baptized this month. So hyped. Everyone pray for him. 

God is good and has given us the sun this week. Pay for me to feel like there is sun even when it's alright grey for this next week Hahah

Week 37 -- YAY a weekly letter!


We had a way cool miracle happen. So we've been praying the whole transfer to bump into this new convert dude that we have no contact with. Literally the day before sister Clawson left we were in the train. When we went to get off the doors we wanted to get through were broken so we had to go to the other door to get out. As we were walking out the new convert dude walked in. We got to say what's up real quick and meet him. 2 days after sister Clawson left we were able to spot him out right before an appointment we literally ran through like 50 people trying to catch up but then walk by all casually and be like oh hey didn't see you there hahaha. Accidentally missed out appointment but worth it cuz we got to talk to him. And he ended up coming to church on sunday. Asked if he has been reading the BOM and he said not for the past week because he slyly left it at his families house hoping they would be like hey what's this and open it. Haha so cute

Also apparently sister Andrews dad is Andy off of the office. Not literally but his character is based off of her dad. And she just decided to say this. Not sure why she didn't start off with that cuz that would have been a good way to hit it off lol. 

Also not as bad as my sister in Hong Kong but we were teaching this lady and she was telling us about these amazing fruits she ate and we told her we love fruit and she was like oh let me check if I have some from the summer. Then she's like oh I have an apple left and pulls out a rotten apple and cuts it up for us hahahha. We eat it and smile cuz were missionaries and that's what Christ would do. Lol good stuff.

We now get to call our families. It's about time cuz I've been doing that for my whole mission now haha. I'm sure all the mom's are going crazy. Anyway sorry I haven't written an email in a month now
